CONSTITUTION:Hot water within a hot water storage tank 9 heated up to a predetermined temperature by a heater 10 supplied with power through a controller 17 by midnight power supply, is supplied through a supply hot water passage 13 at daytime or night. The tank 9 is automatically supplied and supplemented with water from the lower part and through a supply water passage 12. The quantity of hot water remaining within the tank 9 can be readily calculated from the tank capacity and the quantity of used hot water. By correctly detecting the quantity of supply water by a water quantity sensor 16, the quantity of supply water detected by a water quantity sensor 16, the quantity of remaining hot water can be correctly measured, and the measured quantity is digitally displayed in a remote control box 15. Further, dialy resetting of the quantity of remaining hot water is carried out simultaneously with the stoppage of power supply to the heater 10 due to the heating up temperature detection of a hot water temperature thermostat 11.

Conventional configuration and its problems 2: A water heater that uses late-night electricity uses low-cost electricity at night to boil the water in the hot water storage tank to a predetermined temperature, and mixes it with water at the outlet when necessary. It is used as In this case, unlike instantaneous heating water heaters, the amount of hot water that can be used is limited by the capacity of the hot water storage tank, as instantaneous heating is not possible. Usually 300 for home use
~ aro (1/min is common. Therefore, when using hot water, it is necessary to know the amount of hot water remaining in the tank. A conventional example of this system is explained in Fig. 1. The water is heated to a predetermined temperature by an electric heater 2 using electricity late at night.The predetermined temperature is set via a controller 4 to the temperature instructed by a remote control box 3, and the completion of boiling is determined by detection by a water temperature thermometer 5 installed below the tank 1. It is controlled by a controller.In use, hot water flows from the hot water supply path 6 led out from above the tank 1, and water is replenished from the lower water supply path 7.In the tank, hot water and replenished cold water are separated. Because there is a difference in temperature, there is a boundary layer that separates the upper hot water and the lower cold water without mixing, and the position of this boundary layer is adjusted in the height direction within the tank. Detected by controller 4
It is displayed on the complete remote control box 3.

In these conventional methods for detecting the amount of remaining hot water, there is a limit to the number of thermos provided (usually three), and the amount can only be measured using digital detection, which is determined by the number of thermos, making it difficult to accurately detect the amount of remaining hot water. In particular, when the amount of remaining hot water is small, there is a risk of running out of hot water, and because instant hot water cannot be heated, it is not possible to accurately display the amount of remaining hot water, which poses problems in terms of usability.

6), but it does not officially display the amount of remaining hot water as it resets the display of the integrated flow meter to zero, and furthermore, you cannot check the boiling water temperature by resetting it with a timer (the boiling water temperature does not reach the set temperature within the time the electricity is on). (In some cases, it may not be possible to raise the temperature), and there was also the drawback that the hot water supply capacity, including the hot water temperature, could not be determined.

Next, the operation will be explained. The water in the hot water storage tank 9 is supplied to the controller 17 by energizing in the middle of the night by a timer (not shown).
The water is heated to the set temperature by the heater 10 that is energized through the water. The temperature of the hot water heated below the tank gradually increases due to natural convection within the tank, and when the water temperature thermometer 11 detects that the entire temperature has reached the set temperature, the heater is turned off. Boiling temperature setting is done using remote control box 1.
5, usually set around 60°C or 80°C6
Vanished. The boiled hot water is supplied through a hot water supply path 13 either at random or at night, is mixed with water at a mixing faucet 14, and is used after being dispensed at a desired temperature. Water is automatically replenished into the tank 1 from below through the water supply channel 12 as hot water is supplied from the hot water supply path, and hot water and cold water are clearly separated from hot water at the top and cold water at the bottom by a boundary layer whose position is determined by the amount of hot water used. ing. The amount of hot water supplied, ie, the amount of hot water used in the tank, is the same as the amount of water supplied, and the amount is detected by the water amount sensor 16 and measured by the controller. Therefore, the amount of hot water remaining in the tank can be easily calculated from the tank capacity and the amount of hot water used.
By accurately detecting the amount of water supplied, the amount of hot water remaining can be accurately measured, and the amount is digitally displayed on the remote control box, and when using hot water, the amount can be checked and used effectively. The daily remaining amount of hot water (the total capacity of the hot water storage tank) is reset at the same time as the heater 10 is turned off when the boiling temperature is detected by the hot water thermometer 11, and the display on the remote control box 15 is reset to the initial value via the controller 17. At the same time, the current water temperature (set boiling temperature) is also displayed. On the other hand, if the electric heater's capacity is insufficient for the hot water storage tank capacity, or if hot water is being used late at night, the water cannot be heated to the set temperature within the timer when the power is turned on late at night.
The current boiling temperature can be displayed based on the signal from the water temperature thermometer 11, allowing you to check both the amount and temperature of the remaining water.
Accurate hot water supply capacity can be grasped and hot water supply can be used effectively. In addition, when displaying the hot water temperature, depending on the position of the hot water temperature thermometer 11, the incoming water temperature is detected early by replenishing the tank during hot water supply, so the hot water temperature display at the time of reset is retained until the next reset, making it easier to use. will be improved.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the same components as in FIG. 2 are given the same numbers. The difference with Fig. 2 is that the water supply channel on the cold water side of the mixing faucet 14 is taken from the water supply channel near the mixing faucet in Fig. 2, whereas in the case of Fig. 3, the water supply channel on the cold water side is taken from the tank 9. It is taken from the water supply channel 18 that branches from the water supply channel 12. The water amount sensor in this case is provided upstream of the water supply channel branch portion 19. Water sensor meter f
The AN value detects the total amount of hot water and cold water, that is, the amount of hot water coming out. Therefore, in order to know the amount of hot water used or the amount of remaining hot water, check the hot water thermometer above the tank 1 (not shown), the water supply temperature thermometer, the hot water temperature thermometer, and the hot water output amount. The value will be calculated and displayed on the remote control box. The difference from the example in FIG. 2 is that the level of water detection by the water flow sensor 16 is the amount of hot water coming out of the mixing faucet 14, so the amount varies depending on the hot water temperature setting, but the amount is 2.
~4 times more. Therefore, the flow rate level detected by the water sensor increases, the sensitivity flow rate of the water sensor becomes higher, the configuration becomes easier, and the accuracy of flow rate detection also improves.

In the above embodiments, the water flow sensor is provided in the water supply channel, but it is clear that the same effect can be achieved even if a water flow sensor with a structure that is resistant to hot water is used in the hot water supply channel.

Also, although we have only explained the heater as a late-night electric heater,
